Work / Family of four considering a move to Poland from USA [31]

@malbork

I'm actually in quite a similar situation... PL born with passport, living in US, worked in sales/sales management most of my adult life, looking to move back to Wroclaw (where I'm from) or some other city in Poland due to being sick of living in urban American (Chicago in my case) and either continue working in sales or go into consulting, open a small business or something of the sorts in Poland.

Here's what I can tell you based on my experience/research with sales - stats show a sales manager ought to make at least 12-15k+ ZL salary on the low end plus an additional commission/bonus. A Swedish transportation (cargo, RoRo, etc.) company in Gdansk offered 30k EU + commission for an RSM position, the company I work for now pays their Polish RSMs $24k USD salary + commission (about $2-$4k a month for an average PL based RSM with the top two guys over there consistently averaging $5-6k, and up to 10k+ a month top during peak season) and for their Ukranian RSMs $12k annually + same commission structure. I recently found out that the Ukrainian government imposed a sort of tax on everyone's salary to help bring in money to fight the war against Russia.

If you have a proven track record of bringing in big clients and a lot of revenue and are known in your industry than people will be fighting over hiring you. Or, you can always go into consulting especially if you have a grad level education and work for a company like Bain, McKinsey, Booz Allen, etc. all of whom have offices in Poland. The salaries are going to be around the same 12-20k ballpark but the December bonuses can easily be 50-100%+ of annual salary.

Work / Family of four considering a move to Poland from USA [31]

Poland is likely still cheap to me, and you can buy a newly built house for about $120k.

Precisely why I'm moving. I can buy a nice ass house paid for in cash and never have to worry about a mortgage or paying several grand every year in property taxes alone ever again. And that's one of the best things about it - the taxes on property are a joke compared to many places in the USA.

Perhaps atleast 15k?

I wouldn't take any salary that's less than 12-15k, but it also depends on how the commission/bonus is. Either way stand your ground and negotiate hard, focus on the value and revenue you'll bring. With sales it's very simple - either you bring in enough revenue to justify your position or you don't. On the other hand, you don't want to bring in a bunch of money making others rich while you get shafted making a lower income.

Will your position have subordinates like inside sales reps/fronters, a secratary/assistant or dealers or something like that? Or is it more you working a territory and traveling to do prospecting, closing deals, visiting clients, etc?

How many working hours per week? How long holiday?

40 hours is required, most put in time outside of work hours though answering calls, emails, traveling from place to place, etc. Idk about holidays for everyone, but most have like 3 weeks vacation/personal plus the regular state holidays.

Off-Topic / Merkel's stepping down influence on Poland [82]

never before have Germans experienced that kind of prosperity and peace,

Sure - I guess all the "cultural enrichment" from Germany's new migrants aka Merkel's "doctors and engineers" pales in comparison to the Soviet invasion or the bombing of Dresden.

competent, respected chancellor

An obese childless woman with a gender bending ward robe way past her prime who like other old white liberal women in her cohort get involved in politics and or activism as a coping mechanism and replacement for being single, lonely and childless - usually in the form of chastising white Christian Europeans and promoting a brown and black deluge i.e. Black Lives Matter, "we can do this," critical race theory, etc.

Nobody cares about it anymore, which is why the AfD has been bleeding votes.

Just wait till things gradually open up and Germans are back to experiencing "spontaneous cultural enrichment" on a regular basis

Every day I wake up and think: If only we had fewer refugees, our life would be so much better.

I guess we're alike then, when I wake up and have to drive to the city I think if we only had less non-white people, then I wouldn't have to drive around with a handgun in worrying someone is going to try to steal my benz

That and gay marriage, those guys are really having an impact on my life.

An imam reading the koran in a Christian church.... only in the spineless countries of western europe... You'd never see that in Poland that's for sure...

Life / Fat People in Poland? [161]

Do we have so many bodybuilders now, much more then 20 years ago? I don't know.

There was this sort of fad like 10-20 years ago with Polish guys taking steroids, lifting, being body builders now, etc. That era produced Mariusz Pudzianowski. Now at least for males MMA, kickboxing, etc. are more popular. Even Pudzian went from strongmen competitions to MMA.

Would you say that executing at least 10 million German civilians would be a fair way to end the war?

They don't need to execute the Germans, there's already an ethnic cleansing taking place with all the third worlders they've been letting in. Just wait a few more years and you'll start hearing "press 1 for Arabic, 2 for German"

We can only hope so - soon meat is going to be a rare luxury in Europe - just like during PRL and USSR. They're trying to get people to start eating bugs as a way to help the environment, climate change, etc.

Point proven....

you will buy and enjoy it for sure! :)

No... I won't. If that happens I'll start simply grow my own food or join a co-op... I don't consume garbage food now nor do I plan to. I'm not going to start eating bugs or some frankenstein steaks grown in a lab just because some crazed vegan who despite being an 18 year old female still has the body of a pre-pubescent boy is convincing the neo-marxists in western europe that cow farts are going to doom the planet.

Off-Topic / Merkel's stepping down influence on Poland [82]

How do you know??? If it tastes and feels "right"? :)

Because I don't buy franken-GMO food so I sure as **** won't buy bugs or some other garbage. I wouldn't even feed that to my dog. Sewer rats might taste like chocolate but that doesn't mean I'll eat them.

Do you have an idea with how much antibiotics the chicken and pigs you buy and eat are pumped with?

Yes, which is why I buy free range chickens/eggs, fruits, etc. from a farm or farmer's markets. Even the supposed "all natural", "organic" etc. fruits sold at high end supermarkets are off. For example strawberries - the ones that are marketed as organic or whatever are far larger, have far more water content, different coloring, and aren't nearly as sweet as a true naturally grown strawberry. There's something off about them - their size, taste, coloring, etc. and while I can't definitively point my finger to what it whether it's gmo or some preservatives or fungicides or whatever is I know from experience and eating true natural strawberries that the stuff they're trying to push is bullshit.

Work / Expatriating to Poland... good career move for a young male? [50]

Poland is the worst country of the Vishehrad group to live.

And yet it's the defacto head of Visegrad...

Or maybe Poland's just less developed and more rural than Slovakia and CR.

Those countries also have a much smaller population. Slovakia has always been poorer than Czechia, even when they were Czechoslovakia. It's like East and West Germany. The economic disparity exists till today.

And actually, if you go to Poland's cities you'll find plenty of well to do people especially in places like Wroclaw, Warsaw, etc. There's as many new expensive cars per capita as even in the USA or a Western country. And property values have soared - there's tons of houses selling for 250, 500, 1mln Euro and up - and Polish people are buying them.

This isn't 1990's Poland where people made a few bucks a day and everything was cheap. Poland is just as modern and developed as its western neighbors. Yes, the average salaries are lower but the cost of living is also lower. And actually Poland's average incomes are now higher or on par with countries like Greece, Portugal, Spain, etc. The economy as a whole has a higher nominal GDP than many other western EU countries like Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Netherlands, Switzerland, etc..

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [400]

Some Polish Jews bear typical Polish names

That's because of the whole crypto jew phenomenon... tons of jews changed their names to sound more Polish. Just look at the original names of a handful of the old PO "reformed commies"

Frejdlich

That is most definitely not a Polish name...

coz it is illegal in view of the European Union law.

Big deal. They can't enforce jack **** so it's pointless. It won't change a thing. Just like when the EU threatened sanctions, article 7, etc. etc. for things like refusing to take in migrants in 2015, not allowing gay marraige, PiS control of judiciary, etc. And what did PiS do? They gave the EU the middle finger, telling them to come enforce their "decisions" and "rulings," then kept going on with business as usual.

News / The ruling party in Poland tries to take American owned TV news station off the air [528]

Then figure out how to achieve that ethically rather than third world sh|thole tactics like retroactive legislation.

The people in PiS did - they initially sought to buy out stakes in the foreign media companies. In some cases it worked, in others it didn't. So they used the law. I find that to be ethical, which is totally subjective and relative anyway. They could've just as easily sent in a bunch of investigators over tax payments or fraud or whatever and kept digging till they uncover some kind of impropriety which they eventually would, or make one up. Or just straight up nationalized it. So yes, relatively, they are and have been taking the more ethical route.

People that have power, wealth, etc. 99% of the time didn't get there by being "ethical." They may pretend to be and spout off some slogans or put up a plaque with some donation amount, but at the end of the day it's all b.s. And actually, it's the ones who claim to be so pure and holy, so ethical, that are oftentimes the biggest crooks.

News / The ruling party in Poland tries to take American owned TV news station off the air [528]

66% polled Poles who believe TVN must stay whole and independent.

Oh so now suddenly you agree with what the majority wants... funny how when polls show that 74% of Poles who don't want third worlders in Poland or the 66% who are against gay marraige you're against them...

And who conducted this supposed poll that 2/3 of Poles want TVN to remain as is? IPSOS, CBOS, or TVN or some affiliated/friendly group?

How about this - fine let's assume that 2/3 of Poles want TVN to remain in the hand of New York jews... if we're following the wishes of Polish people on all accounts that means no third world migration, no gay marraige, no abortion, etc.

News / The ruling party in Poland tries to take American owned TV news station off the air [528]

Again, that's why I'm asking WHO conducted this poll - is it someone neutral like IPSOS, CBOS, etc. or TVN, Wyborcza, etc.?

You fancy yourself an educated person so you ought to know that data and statistics can be easily manipulated to show certain results. It's called statistical bias. If it's someone like TVN conducting their own polls then there may be a bias

I did it only for you coz I know you love majority statistics. HA!

Apparently you do too, but only when they're in your favor and when you agree with something. But when neutral polls show that Poles don't want gay marraige, third worlders, abortion, etc. now you're against the majority... Only when it suits you...

"most Poles think this or that." :):) You see - now you are discrediting all your previous defenses.

Which is why I quoted ISPSOS and CBOS, both are neutral and both show that the majority of Poles don't want third worlders, gay marraige and abortion. And if we're following your line then it also equally discredits your statement that 66% of Poles want TVN independent, especially when you can't cite the source making it highly suspect that it may be a biased source i.e. wyborcza, TVN's own poll, etc.

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]

But, if they don`t apply the EU law now, Poland will have to pay fines.

Polish law trumps EU law de facto each and every time. A law, fine, etc. means nothing when it can't be enforced. Just look at the whole bogus article 7 procedures or when they tried to strip Poland of EU funds because we didn't want a flood of third worlders or even the situation in Crimea. Yeah, on the books de jure Crimea belongs to Ukraine, de facto and in reality in belongs to Russia.

The EU is all bark and no bite. PiS realized that a long time ago and that's why they can keep doing what they're doing, all while remaining the most popular party in Poland.

But, if they don`t apply the EU law now, Poland will have to pay fines.

Sure, even if that happens big deal a few million in fines for the EU to give Poland billions in funding. A good trade imo. As the saying goes, gotta spend money to make money...

There are many articles about Kremlin sponsoring of pro Russian

So what? Even if it were true what's the big deal? Foreign countries, NGOs, etc. sponsor political groups all the time - no different with PO or the left, especially from Soros and all the pro-EU groups. So it's okay for one group to take money from a certain country, person or group but not another? Hmmm....

Good for them though - the nationalists need to get all the funding they can to fight the good fight. Idc if it's the Taliban or North Korea that gives NOP/ONR/RN/etc. money

Is it coin or paper currency? If banknote it's worthless. If it's one of the silver coins can be worth $40-$200, maybe up to $400-$700 for uncirculated condition to the right collector. If a rare gold version, several thousand.

can somebody finally explain what these people are proud of?

I would, but it's too explicit and the mods will probably give a suspension.... but yes, normal people are proud of real accomplishments - getting a promotion, graduating college, etc., not acting out sexual proclivities...

they all want to indoctrinate our children

They aren't even hiding it anymore... the san francisco gay men's choir recently released a song where the lyrics explicitly state how Bible teaching is out and it's "their turn" to teach the kids...

This is why I hope Poland goes the way of Hungary, Russia, and the other based dgaf countries and just make all displays of lgbt illegal in the public sphere. Thankfully there's far more support against lgbt than for it in Poland.

Eh not quite. People in the US have been slowly brainwashed to accept LGBT and give them ever expanding rights. Now you even have the Republicans supporting a tranny for California governor... that is what "conservatism" in the US has come to...

Most stats show that majority in the US does support LGBT, LGBT rights, etc. Definitely not in Poland though. Poll after poll, stat after stat shows numbers of 66%-80%+ being against LGBT.

Polonia / Which country is better SPAIN or POLAND [100]

Africans (North and Sub-Saharan) are the ones that end up in petty crime:

Same story around the entire world... and then they wonder why white people, asians, even latinos not to mention cops (including black ones) are extra cautious around them...

Spain is a beautiful country though. I'd probably take vacationing in Spain over Poland, but nonetheless Poland is and always will be the motherland...
